Read the FAQs about civility, and maybe get a civility buddy if you have any questions whether what you want to post is within the guidelines or not.
I'd be happy to help you, or you can babblemail or email any of the deputies. It's a minefield, I agree; but it's also a challenge to learn how to express ourselves without causing distress to others.
I try to remember that what I post is being read by many more people than the individual to whom I'm responding. How would you express yourself if you were with a group of people, none of whom you know well, and who have an enormous diversity of backgrounds and opinions? Would you say something that could offend someone, or would you chose your words so that your view is expressed, but with consideration for the people who are listening?ClearSkies
